Chinese New Year is a memorable time for our family. Just last year, we welcomed baby Leroy into our family on the first day of Chinese New Year! What a way to celebrate and usher in the new year!

This year, yours truly will be involved in a Chinese New Year event organised by SingEx, a subsidiary of Temasek Holdings and venue manager for Singapore EXPO and MAX Atria.
